About this event
About All Down Darkness Wide:
When Seán meets Elias, the two fall headlong into a love story. But as Elias struggles with severe depression, the couple comes face-to-face with crisis. Wrestling with this, Seán Hewitt delves deep into his own history, enlisting the ghosts of queer figures and poets before him. From a nineteenth-century cemetery in Liverpool to the pine forests of Gothenburg, Hewitt plumbs the darkness in search of solace and hope.
All Down Darkness Wide is an unflinching meditation on the burden of living in a world that too often sets happiness and queer life at odds, and a tender portrayal of what it's like to be caught in the undertow of a loved one's suffering. By turns devastating and soaring, it is a mesmerising story of heartache and renewal, and a work of rare and transcendent beauty. The book received a number of awards including Winner of the 2022 Rooney Prize for Irish Literature and was shortlisted for the An Post Irish Book Awards in 2022.

We will run the Book Club in a hybrid format, with attendance possible either in-person at the Consulate premises or online via zoom. If you're interested, you can sign up via Eventbrite.
